Vertical sidewalls are easier to fix, make it easier to sharpen the edges, and they put more weight on the edges while carving.

i have a pair of factions - rode them for about two months in france last season.

They are very soft in the nose - perfect as a pow ski for me (5 7) but not much pop and low tail kick. as a powder ski they were amazing, and i know they have changed the constuction this year so they should stiffen up a bit.

i love em.

Factions are so dope! I was in Val last year and rode something called Tuesday or Wednesday or something. A little soft but a sweet ride. Wish they came in a more ladylike size.

I think next to Liberty Skis, Factions are the most sick.

They look like great skis, a little on the expensive side though, but hey, whatever floats your boat. But then again, pow skis are getting expensive.

169 are only 470, 178 are only 520 less than 4frnt and armada and the skis are made with better quality materials.
